52'
Welbeck is back up and running...
51'
Welbeck now goes down - and stays there. He looks in some pain after that challenge by Carragher, but he'll be okay to continue...
50'
Torres goes down again under a challenge from Bramble... the Sunderland defender gets some studs in his leg for his trouble... no card.
49'
It just gets worse for Liverpool... they're going to have to dig deep to get something from his one now...
48'
GOAL! SUNDERLAND TAKE THE LEAD! Darren Bent at the double! It's a great diving header from the Black Cats marksman to fire home from Onuoha's excellent cross! 2-1 Sunderland lead!
47'
Welbeck looks for a penalty as he knocks the ball past Reina before being poleaxed by the Reds keeper! Referee Attwell isn't going to give this one though!
46'
No changes to tell you about at the break...
46'
Back under way at Anfield!
45'+2
A lenghty passage of passing play for Sunderland brings about the end of the first half.... Turner remonstrates with the referee, no doubt claiming that his 'back pass' was nothing of the sort and that he was merely playing the ball back for his keeper to take the free-kick... it's too late for that though and the sides go in locked at 1-1 at the break.
45'+1
Skrtel plays a wild pass out of play... it's just not happening for Liverpool at the moment.
45'
Elmohamady trys his luck from distance... but he has no luck at all and the ball bounces tamely wide.
44'
Two minutes of added time to be played at the end of the first half.
43'
From a decent position with the ball at Joe Cole's feet, Liverpool are forced all the way back to Reina... no invention at all...
42'
Oh no... Torres is walking gingerly following a clash with Bramble... surely not more injury woe for the Spaniard?
41'
Henderson clips the ball over to Malbranque, but he can't quite keep it in play.
40'
Even though most of the action has been in the Liverpool half, the latest stas tell us that the hosts have now had 46 per cent of possession.
39'
Rafa Benitez's reign at Anfield may well be over, but the Spanish tourist board is still advertsing with 'Visit Spain' being beamed all around the ground....
38'
Liverpool have had a total of 50 Premier League shots at goal this season – only Wolves (42), Blackpool (43) and Blackburn (48) have had fewer in the division.
37'
Sunderland work a crossing opportunity for Malbranque, but the Frenchman lets his side down with a poor final ball in... it's all Sunderland at the moment! They're just lacking that decisive pass...
36'
Oh dear, yet another poor free-kick from Henderson... it goes to no one in particular and bounces out for a goal kick.
35'
Poulsen is penalised for a foul on Cattermole... the Dane doesn't like it, but Sunderland have another free-kick...
